maximumverbosityonline on 2009-07-15 said... A good storyteller is one who’s able to weave interesting anecdotes out of pretty much anything. At its heart, this is the latest in the burgeoning genre of office comedies (albeit with a somewhat greater-than-usual proportion of bureaucratic insanity) – but the dude is sufficiently likeable and enthusiastic to make the hour a pleasure. The driving engine of the story is a ludicrously petty bit of psychological warfare taking place between himself and one of his colleagues, and the various complications which result from it. It’s not really a must-see or a life-changer, and there’s times I wish he would have plumbed a little deeper – there’s a weirdness, after all, to finding yourself in the odd position of having your own self-worth determined by some bureaucratic rat-race – but it’s pleasant enough, and worth checking out on its own merits. (He’s also an auditor, incidentally, Does that mean I should be wary of criticizing him?) more reviews available at wombwithaview.wordpress.com
